Characters, Why, what, what works? (Dudes)

[jazzman]

Hey guys.

What characters do you all take?

Why do you take them?

What do you give them?

Does it always work?

Thanks.

EDIT ; When making a thread make sure the title actually referrs to your post, a title such as a "dudes" is not ok. So remember that in the future.
Thanks, danceman

Hmmm... With all the brand new options we VC players have to tune up our characters whatever we like, it's normal to ask what "works" and what "doesn't". This question is highly circumstancial, though I'll show you my fav characters according to my game style.

1. Wight King BSB. A must. His T5 W3 make him nearly invincible to most enemy heroes and some lords. He got Killing Blow, so he should deal with them easily. If he carries a magical banner, he gets GW. If not, he is mounted, with barding, with Sword of Kings. Anyway he is supported by a Great Weapons Grave Guard unit.

2. Ye Olde Magick Vampire Lorde. One of my favs. Lvl 3 vamp lord w/ 2 extra PD and knowing all spells from one lore except life. He wears the crown of commandment. What can I say, a lot of flexibility and magical punch.

3. Flying Vamp hero. Annoying for your enemies. The ultimate warmachine hunter. Not much to say.

I like the special characters, Konrad is just pure awesomeness! 145 points and he's more of a killing machine then most lords. He always kills units worth 3-4 times his own point cost in my games.

Vlad is good because he's nearly immortal and Mannfred's magical abilities are superior to any vampire

A flying vampire or with the talisman of lycni are good for flanking or killing unprotected units.

I second the vote for Wight King BSB with a great wep. My current set up has the Drakenhof Banner in a unit of Graveguard.

The Vamp lord set up Cromenon suggested is rather effective as well.

I prefer vamp with hunter in the night, and talisman for warmachine hunting. Gives you more options as hunter is only 25 points instead of 30. Works well with the armor of night or wristbands. If no scouting is possible, he can still join a unit from the start and do his nike saurus impression.

One I have yet to try out but looking forward to!! Vamp hero with Forbiden lore, lore of beast for bears anger. Flayed hauberk, Talisman of Lycni.

6A at S7 w/T5. 2+ sv and M9. Cost only 170 pts.

Tha armour can be changed out for other choices. Just depends on what your other characters are using.

A Lord level with bears anger-7A at S7 w/T6 + red fury!! Would be pretty crazy!!!!!!
